I lived in PA for 16 years, and I could have had a crocodile that entire time‽‽
sob
Alligator*
Legal status of crocodiles and caymans is so far unspecified.
Oh. Well, then, I don't care. Alligators are boring.
How dare you insult alligators like that?
Srsly, I don't know if I could tell which one was if it were put in front of me, and I'd be just as terrified if I were in the water with either.
If the mouth is closed then crocs have their teeth poking out, gators don't. If the mouth is open then consider running away.
Interesting. I've heard the round vs pointy snout one (which doesn't help because I can never remember which way it goes - I need mnemonics, dammit) but not this one.
I guess there are now crocs in FL, so I may have to use this information someday. Like, "oh, its teeth were showing when they mouth was closed, so I'm being eaten by a croc, not a common alligator!"
I'm here now wondering if I should capitalize on this newfound knowledge.
Yes. I mean, did you really need to ask that question?
(Seriously, tho, I know the answer is "no" for any exotic pet. But I can enjoy the idea.)
yeah, my living situation at the moment can't accommodate a house cat, so anything larger is definitely not going to work.
